PirloTV sports piracy network disrupted as 44 domains seized

On June 25, 2026, law‑enforcement agencies seized 44 domains that made up the PirloTV sports‑piracy network, which aggregates and embeds links to unauthorized live sports streams. The seized sites generated more than 950 million visits per year, with roughly 230 million from Mexico alone, and attracted audiences across Latin America, Spain and the United States. The takedown was coordinated by the Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE), UEFA, UC3 and Mexican authorities, and was carried out just before the UEFA Champions League final on May 30, 2026. PirloTV’s model relies on rapid domain migration; at the time of the operation, search engines still indexed several active domains offering streams from ESPN, Fox Sports, TNT Sports, DSports (formerly DirecTV Sports) and TyC Sports. The action also marked ACE’s first collaboration with Mexico’s Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI) under a new memorandum of understanding to strengthen anti‑piracy cooperation. While the seizure disrupts the current network, the platform can pivot quickly, and a number of domains remain indexed by search engines. The crackdown comes amid the FIFA World Cup, where PirloTV is heavily used by mobile users seeking matches that are otherwise difficult to access due to fragmented broadcasting rights.
